Postgraduate study in Europe with designated degree?

Hi there!
My name is Julia and im studying at Aberdeen University.
It my third (sadly final year) and im graduatin with designated degree in Master of Arts in Management Studies. I was supposed to study 4 years, but I failed my main exam last year, so they swapped me from the honours programm to the designated one.
Ive heard, and what i understood so far from the Internet, is that European universities dont have this division in undergraduate degrees: honours/non-honours.
Does any of you guys know if thats true, and if it is( i know that this would decrease my chances in getting in a better university, but still) do you know if i can have the conficence to apply in European universities?
Thanks! xxx

P.S. Im thinking of continuing with Events Management, so if any of you has also heard of any good business specialised universities, I could use your help! x

That's right, they don't have it - they just equate their own Bachelor's degree to a standard 4-year Scottish BA/BSc/MA, or 3-year if the first year was skipped due to meeting higher entry requirements. If you did not complete 4th year I assume you did not complete a dissertation and thus I assume most universities would not consider your degree a full undergraduate degree.

You can only get definite answers by contacting a couple of European universities and asking them about their postgraduate entry requirements.
